Well, you know execs aren't going to give up their bonuses....and the way DALPA rolls over (er, negotiates), any extra expenses, taxes, losses, etc. are coming out of our future pay raises. DALPA big shots certainly won't play hardball and ruin their futures in management.
Sure, the company can afford it.
But we pilots can't.
